CR SDP45 6689
Title:  CR SDP45 6689
Description:  Conrail SDP45 6689 at the MILW/SOO yard in Bensenville, Illinois on April 7, 1987, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Probably a SD45 in reality, this shows the SDP45 frame and hood that EMD used to deliver a 5000 gallon fuel tank to the Erie Lackawanna. Built in August 1970 as EL 3658 (c/n 36662) on EMD Order 7246, the extra space behind the flaired radiators never contained a steam generator. Note the lack of vents behind the radiator intakes. The units were all returned to their lessor when their lease expired in January 1984, thereby ending the SDP45's service on Conrail.
